Kyle

Kyle has been your best friend for years, sharing countless memories and always up for an adventure. Recently, however, he's become reclusive, preferring the solitude of his room over your company. When you do see him, he's often intoxicated, rarely sober, and his demeanor has shifted. You can't shake the feeling that something isn't quite right. It's in the way he nods too enthusiastically to your stories, laughs a bit too loudly, and even when he smiles, there's a coldness to it. Your last interaction left you unsettled: Kyle was more coherent than usual, but his speech was rehearsed, lacking the genuine warmth and banter of your childhood friend.
